Why are half of the job listings on hotjobs,career builder,and indeed jobs scams?

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

I’m looking for work and I go on these sites looking for work only to find out that more than half of them are some type of scam. I haven’t applied to any but I know some people have not knowing. Are there any legit online job sites?

The good jobs today go to people who know how to network. Good jobs don’t get put in the paper very often. Start telling everyone you know what you are looking for and check the companies you want to work for people you know who work there or just call the manager and ask for and appointment tell them you’d really like to find out what it takes to work there. That or find an employment agency/headhunter to do the ground work for you. Again ask around for that.

Here is two really helpful sites, there’s a free option on both.

where can I find job listings for cruise lines that aren’t scams?

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

I am a massage therapist and I can sing/dance a little plus, I have experience in clerical work. I am interested in traveling but all of the sites online I have found want you to buy a book wth job listings in it. This does not sound legitimate to me. Is there another place to get this information?

Don’t pay for information you can get for free. Go to www.cruiselinesjobs.com, there’s quite a lot about cruise line employment there for free. Also, they have a long list of recruitment agents in their directory.

The best places for applying for a job on a cruise ship are probably websites of individual cruise lines - Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Disney Cruises, etc.

I find specialized job sites useful as well, mainly www.allcruisejobs.com and www.catererglobal.com.

Why do most job listings not list the salary?

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

It’s kind of annoying because let’s face it….everyone wants to know the pay of the job. Why waste my time and apply for the job that might make far less than what I expect?

You can turn the question around: why don’t most applicants put their desired salary on their resumes? We know that employers *don’t* talk to people whose salary expectations are higher than what they are willing to pay, and use the salary expectation figure as a candidate-screening criteria.

The bottom line is that many openings have negotiable salaries, depending on the candidate’s level of experience. Of course, employers would not advertise that, since often times they can get someone for their minimal amount, especially in this economy. Candidates can ask: what is the salary *range* for this position, and state their expectations within that range.

Good luck in your search…

Any job listings sites similar to gaijinpot out there for jobs in Japan?

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

I frequent gaijinpot and ohayo sensei, but ohayo sensei’s only bi-weekly, and gaijinpot’s alright, but it’s just one site.

I’m looking for a reasonable job at an eikaiwa (conversation school), or something similar. I’ve got a variety of teaching and other experience.

Try the sites below. I haven’t gone on them recently, so I’m not sure what they still cover.

A good website to look for local job listings?

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

I am just a high school student who is trying to look for work during the summer. So far, I have no luck in finding a job. Please recommend me a website that posts local job listings. Thanks.

Your newspaper’s classified adds.
Also your online newspaper - although they don’t post as many job openings.
Your local employment/ unemployment office will have a board or a book with current job openings.

Always apply in person, have a resume no matter how simple.
Ask to hand the application to the manager when you are finished filling it out.
Shake his/her hand and sell yourself.

Where can I find job listings for freelance copywriting online?

Friday, June 4th, 2010

I’ve found that CraigsList seems to be one of the only places where I can find the occasional freelance copywriting job posting. Does anyone know of any other good sites for finding freelance copywriting opportunities?

JournalismJobs.com has a freelance section.

http://journalismjobs.com/search_results.cfm?JobTypeID=4

But there aren’t many copy editing jobs posted. Mostly writing jobs. Still, good to check this section and the regular newspaper posts.

With Internet Marketing for Plastic Surgeons Assures Return on Your Marketing Investment

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Internet marketing for plastic surgeons can seem quite daunting, but luckily there are plenty of internet marketing companies clamoring to help. Many even offer snazzy video optimization, directory listings, blogs, social media and the like. Everyone’s got an angle on how they can get your plastic surgery practice noticed, and usually for a pretty penny.
What if all that buzz doesn’t translate into more procedures and more money? What good is it?
Internet marketing companies can show a lot of statistics, metrics and techniques to earn your business, but unless they can prove the search engine rankings, directory listings and promised increase in web traffic will result in more revenue, they haven’t proven their value at all.
It’s true, search engine ranking is important. The best site in the world does you no good if no one sees it. But it’s also important to remember that a visit to your website does not necessarily equal a sale, which is why you need to fine tune your site to attract buyers instead of browsers.
Local search is critical in internet marketing for plastic surgery. Obviously, a cosmetic procedure is not a product that can be shipped cross country. And though some patients may board a plane and fly from Knoxville or Omaha to your Fort Lauderdale practice for an abdominoplasty or breast lift, most will book their procedures in their own back yard.
For online marketing purposes, this is good news, since local markets offer less competition, are easier to optimize for, and are more likely to attract buyers instead of browsers.
These days, in the right hands, web site analytical tools can help pinpoint which online marketing tactics are truly producing contacts and revenue for your practice and which are not.
Call-tracking, Google Analytics and other tools can show you where your website visitors come from and how they interact with your site. You can analyze your return on investment on ad purchases and such, and renew what’s working and ditch what’s not.
It’s highly important to see the results of your investment. In a lucrative business like plastic surgery, it’s easy to become a target for internet marketing tactics that show you a lot of gadgets, bells and whistles without truly offering results and increased revenues.
Things change quickly in internet marketing. It can be easy to get lost in the never-ending tide of new developments. But, what a lot of internet marketing companies forget, as well as the businesses they represent, is that good old fashioned techniques haven’t stopped working, they just take a lot of work. And they don’t sound as sexy as the newer flashier techniques.
Link building, PPC, and on page SEO still do the job, but it takes work month after month, and since most business owners are busy running their business, it may make more sense to hire an expert in the business.
